Get those costumes ready for the return of the Wizard World Toronto Comic Con at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Saturday and Sunday (April 14 and 15, 2012). Besides fantastic cosplay the great things about Comic Con are meeting the stars of movies and television shows (photo ops, autographs and Q&As), seeing the writers and artists of anime and comics, and joining fellow fans and fan clubs at the show.

Cosplay fans go up the escalator at the MTCC

Some of the top sessions of the weekend as noted by Wizard World:
• A “Quantum Leap” reunion, with stars Bakula and Stockwell sharing stories about the award-winning sci-fi series
• Witwer, Huntington and Rath show their human sides in discussing the hit Syfy series which already has a huge cult following
